As the light flashed, Yang Lu felt like he was riding in an invisible elevator, flying directly to an altitude of six to seven hundred meters, and then stopped steadily at the side door of the large flying spirit boat suspended in mid-air.
Dozens of service staff are busy working on Su Yuanfeng's beautiful and luxurious soul boat.
Most of the service staff are mortals, but there are also a few Qi Refining Stage disciples of the Haiya Sect among them. The beauty who is responsible for providing reception and explanation services to Yang Lu is a Qi Refining Stage disciple of the Haiya Sect.
Su Yuanfeng has always been known for his kindness to others, and even has the title of "Haiya God of Wealth". Working as a handyman in his private spiritual boat is an outright job even for an ordinary disciple of the Haiya Sect, so
The attitude of this beautiful monk can be said to be quite attentive, and she did not feel scornful at all when she saw Yang Lu's low cultivation level.
Yang Lu had even met the legendary cultivation economist Li Qingyang, and his daily life was more about "building foundations when talking and laughing, but not refining energy when coming and going". He was already at ease with this kind of social scene, and he accepted the other party's hospitality with peace of mind.
When Yang Lu arrived at the banquet location, which was the terrace of the giant flying spirit boat, he found that he was not the only guest at the dinner.
Before he arrived, two strange monks wearing khaki Guyun Sect costumes had already arrived, and after he arrived, two more strange monks in white robes with strange clothing styles appeared on the scene.
In addition, the host Su Yuanfeng was accompanied by a strange monk from the Haiya Sect. This man was about thirty years old. He seemed to be younger than Han Fulai and looked quite capable.
As soon as this person met, he told Yang Lu that he was familiar with Yang Lu. He was the junior member of the family who was trained vigorously by Su Yuanfeng, Qi Refining Dzogchen cultivator Su Cheng.
After all five guests had arrived, Su Yuanfeng clapped his hands gently, and the height of the flying spirit boat increased again, and soon it was hovering about a thousand meters above Haiya City, allowing everyone to easily overlook the entire Haiya.
Harbor night.
Since it had just fallen into the night, the lights in Haiya City were still like dragons. The dense aura lamps and torches illuminated the crisscrossing main avenues like daylight. Under the light of the lighthouse, there were still ocean-going merchant ships.
As the night slowly enters the port, you can even vaguely see a large number of dock workers transporting goods from the port to various storage yards and distribution centers. Viewed from a high position, Haiya City is like a sleepless golden river, flowing with massive wealth from Kyushu.
.
All the guests, including Yang Lu, were attracted by the bright night view of Haiya City.
Although Yang Lu has seen more prosperous modern earth cities, the unique scenery of this Zhongzhou Cultivation Commercial Center still has a special charm to him.
One of the older monks in white robes couldn't help but sigh: "Haiya City is truly a beautiful place in Zhongzhou, the hub of maritime trade wealth, such a brightly lit night scene, and such a prosperous era of prosperous industries, it is very exciting.
My heart is so open, in the bitter cold land of our Arctic state, I am afraid that ordinary mortals will never have the opportunity to see such a magnificent scene in their lifetime!"
Su Yuanfeng responded with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Qu is ridiculous. The Hanguang Sword Sect in the Snowy Mountains of Arctic State is the legendary blessed land of immortals. Our Haiya City is just a secular city full of the smell of copper. It cannot be
Such a good reputation.”
Only then did Yang Lu know that these two white-robed monks were actually monks from the Hanguang Sword Sect in Arctic State.
Hearing Su Yuanfeng's self-effacing words, the monk surnamed Qu shook his head and said: "When Qu was young, he also traveled around the Kyushu. Many ports with geographical locations no less than those of Haiya City gave me a feeling of lifelessness. From the cultivation sect
From the top to the mortals who handle government affairs for the cultivators, they are all exploiting the mortals at the bottom. Not to mention the ordinary mortals who work hard at night, even if they are reluctant to carry out the tasks assigned by the cultivators, what do you Haiya Sect have?
Any management tips?”
Hearing the words of the monk surnamed Qu, Yang Lu couldn't help but think of what he had seen and heard in Tianshu City.
Once you are used to the prosperity of Haiya City, you will indeed feel that Tianshu City is a bit lifeless. Now it seems that cities like Haiya City are only a minority, and cities like Tianshu City are the norm in the Kyushu cultivation world.
Yang Lu was also curious about how Su Yuanfeng, the president of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce, would answer this question.
"Every bustle in the world is for profit, and all the hustle and bustle in the world is for profit!" Su Yuanfeng pondered for a moment, and then solemnly gave an answer in the style of an Austrian economist, "Everyone's interests are actually very different.
Simple, it is to strive for more benefits for yourself. But if thousands of people want to maximize their own interests, things will become very troublesome. And when millions of people want to maximize their own interests, the whole
The contradictions in society will be so great that no one can reconcile them. What makes the Haiya sect better than other cultivation sects is that it knows how to actively restrain its power, delegate power to many market entities, and play the role of the market in transmitting signals.
It’s not an attempt to vertically manage millions of people on its own.”
Judging from what Yang Lu observed, in addition to providing the most basic public services to the Haiya area, the Haiya system only firmly grasped the two main lines of maritime trade and finance. It is indeed a typical representative of streamlining administration and delegating power.
The monk surnamed Qu nodded thoughtfully and said: "Knowing choices, knowing how to advance and retreat, it is no accident that the Haiya Department can achieve today's glory!"
Su Yuanfeng laughed loudly when he heard this and said: "Su is hosting a banquet this time to entertain all the friends from the Haiya Chamber of Commerce. Talking about this kind of sect management is a bit too serious. How about I introduce each other to you first?"
Bar……"
After everyone's eyes were focused on him, Su Yuanfeng introduced to everyone one by one: "Today's distinguished guests are all important shareholders of the Huoyun Prefecture Yangjiang Port project, and they will all participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference to be held in a few days.
This fellow Taoist from Qujing of the Hanguang Sword Sect met Su during a trial on the battlefield outside the territory a hundred years ago. He is now an early stage Golden Elixir monk, and the young friend from Lingyang next to him will represent the Hanguang Sword Sect in the participation.
For this Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, both of you made a special trip from the Snowy Mountains of the Arctic State and came all the way to Haiya City."
The relationship between the six extreme northern sects and the seven major sects of Kyushu is very delicate.
Generally speaking, the two sides are roughly in a neutral relationship of "no unification, no independence, and no force."
The Wuliang Sword Sect did not say that neutral sects like the Arctic State would not be allowed to participate in the Zhongzhou Sword Discussion Conference, but it was unlikely that the Six Extreme North Sects would allow their elite disciples to join the Wuliang Sword Sect. Ling Yang, a disciple of the Hanguang Sword Sect, did not
He traveled thousands of miles to participate in the competition, and even accepted Su Yuanfeng's banquet. It was most likely that Su Yuanfeng had invited Su Cheng to do so.
The next words of the golden elixir stage monk named Qu Jing also verified Yang Lu's guess: "President Su, you are so polite! With President Su's ability, I am afraid that it will only take the next two years to advance to the golden elixir stage. We Hanguang
The Sword Sect also made a special trip to act as a green leaf for President Su, to set off the red flower of Little Daoist Fellow Su. I wonder if these three strange fellow Daoists are..."
"This is Yang Lu, the successor of President Li Qingyang. He is currently serving as a consultant to the Qingning Chamber of Commerce." After introducing Yang Lu, Su Yuanfeng turned to the relatively young monk of the Guyun Sect again and introduced, "This Guyun Sect
Fellow Daoist Ren Yi is also a strong contender for this Zhongzhou Sword Competition, but after many efforts, it has been determined that he will be assigned to the Eastern Division to compete."
